Her Majesty's Government during the last 12 months, how many prisoners sentenced to an
indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection were (1) offered places
on a training course which could lead to their release, (2) were released following
completion of such training courses, and (3) refused to take up a place or dropped
out of such courses; and how those figures compare with those for the preceding 12
month period.

<p>The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost as central
records are not kept for all aspects of the management of prisoners sentenced to an
indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP).</p><p> </p><p>HM
Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and the Parole Board will continue to work together
to improve the progression of IPP prisoners. This group continue to achieve release
in high numbers, with 576 first time IPP releases in 2016, the highest figure since
the sentence was introduced.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS will continue to invest in interventions
to assist prisoners to both reduce their risk and demonstrate such progression to
the Parole Board. However, it is important to remember that it is not mandatory for
IPPs to complete accredited offending behaviour programmes in order to achieve release.
Completing an accredited offending behaviour programme is one way in which IPP prisoners
may demonstrate that they have reduced their risk of harm and reoffending; other options
may include work and employment, education and one to one work with psychologists
or prison offender supervisors.</p>
